Here’s a pic ... I’m not saying any more. Which knife do you think you would like better?
Isn't the more pertinent point which knife you like better?Which knife do you think you would like better?
I'm a fan of fancy handles. It's just that I don't particularly like wood that's been died blue, green, red, or whatever. So, in this case, I'd vote for the Ho wood version.Sooooo ... confronted with the reality ... which one to you think YOU prefer?
Yes, the replacement handle is a bit heavier than the original, so it does shift the balance a bit. The new balance point is midway between the heel and the end of the ferrule now.Michi knows his stuff ... fwiw I like your handle better too. My biggest problem with the fancy handle is that it shifts the blade to a handle heavy ... which I don’t normally prefer.
Yes, this is the new version with the laser-engraved kanji. I bought it at the beginning of the year when a batch of the KS3124 became available.So am I correct in saying that your KS is “new stock”?
I honestly have no idea. If you find any differences, let us know please!I am kind of wondering what the fuss was all about ... new stock vs old stock? Maybe I will learn more while I use the old stock blade over time.
